Keys to Kindergarten Readiness: Activities for Preschoolers, Worksheets, Learning Games, Learn How to Read, Developmental Milestones, Sight Words, Positive Parenting, Christian Mom, Life Skills https://www.keystokindergartenreadiness.com/ Hey Mama! Welcome to Keys to Kindergarten Readiness I’m Shannon Ali. Daughter of the King, Wife, mom of 3 littles, teacher, speech-language pathologist, and kindergarten readiness expert! I remember what it felt like during the Covid lockdown in 2020, my husband was still working, and I was home by myself with our 3 year old, 1 year old, and a newborn baby girl all while still teaching school online. Needless to say, it was a crazy time, but I am thankful for God’s grace and lessons during that time. I felt like I wasn’t fulfilling my role as a mom. I didn’t know how to nurture my children’s gifts. I was putting academics in front of God’s Word, and we didn’t have a sense of discipline, organization, or family in our home even though it looked perfect from the outside. Then, I went into my Bible & back to my college books. I taught my then 3 year old how to read with quick easy lessons, and he tested off the charts for acceptance into the top school and preschool gifted program. I taught my kids about several black inventors to teach them perseverance and to build their self-esteem. I taught them life skills to help me around the house and to help them become more independent and confident. Most importantly, I grew deeper in my personal faith, and I was able to start planting seeds in my children’s hearts and teach them so much about God. Solutions I’m here to teach you everything I know about faith, family, and fun learning. In this podcast, you will learn: -Ways to help your child build a personal relationship with Jesus -Tips for positive parenting, life skills, and building a stronger family -Engaging on-the-go strategies for teaching your child everything they need to know to be ready for kindergarten even when you’re busy Learn: www.keystokindergartenreadiness.com Connect: keystokindergartenreadiness@gmail.com Community: https://bit.ly/3K8RTP3 Facebook: Keys to Kindergarten Readiness Mon, 01 Dec 2025 21:53:33 -0600 https://podbean.com/?v=5.5 en Copyright 2023 All rights reserved.

During that time, I was so overwhelmed with work and life that I rarely read her any bedtime stories.  It wasn’t until I audited my time that I realized I honestly wasn’t investing enough time to see the results I wanted to see. 

After looking at several reading programs, it appears it often takes anywhere from approximately 12-30 hours to years of instruction to teach a child to read. This obviously varies depending on MANY factors such as the level of reading you’re trying to achieve, your kiddo’s age, attention span, language development, and the other literacy skills your child already has, but time spent focusing on reading goals really does matter.

Setting goals is a fundamental aspect of teaching your child to read. However, simply having goals is not enough; they must be structured in a way that makes them achievable and meaningful. 

I have definitely set several generic goals in the past such as “I will read books with my child more” or “I will practice reading with Naomi more” and those things didn’t really happen because there was not a clear road to what success was. 

When I set SMART goals and shared them with my kids or my students, they excelled because they “understood the assignment.” Haha! Today we are going to learn about Making SMART Reading Goals for your Child. Let’s Dig in!
